Teenagers stabbed in rush-hour fight on Tube

Commuters watched in terror as a knife fight broke out between teenagers on a rush-hour Tube train.

Passengers were shocked when one of the youths slashed another across the face in the fight on Tuesday morning.

The attack happened at around 8.25am before the Bakerloo line train pulled into Paddington Station - where the fight then spilled out onto a platform.

One of the victims, whose face was covered in blood after being stabbed in the cheek, ran along the platform and hid in the train doorway as he tried to avoid his attacker. He then found a police officer on the platform.

His attacker remained on board the train which continued southbound through Edgware Road, before police stopped it at Marylebone and made an arrest.

Witness Andy Cannon, who was in the neighbouring carriage, said the men started arguing at Kilburn Park.

"They then started fighting just before Paddington and as the train stopped one of them pulled out a knife," he said.

"A woman screamed saying that he had a gun at first before she realised what it actually was."The victims, aged 17 and 19, were treated in hospital for face injuries before both were discharged.
